Nick GilbertsonFormer Vice President Mike Pence gave a full-throated condemnation of Republican populism on Wednesday and implored Republicans to embrace traditional conservatism over the rising movement he likens to progressivism on the left.out a stark contrast between his vision for the Republican Party and that of populists like former President Donald Trump.
Pence argued that while conservatism in the GOP has long had ideological differences with liberalism in the Democratic party, populism is now threatening conservatism “from within” the GOP. Pence sees populism as the right’s equivalent of progressivism on the left, with both being different strains of the same ideology.
“The Republican populists would abandon American leadership on the world stage, embracing a posture of appeasement in the face of rising threats to freedom. Republican populists would blatantly erode our constitutional norms,” he added.
